Commercial Description:
Dos Equis Amber is a rich, full-bodied Mexican import with a reddish-gold color and is made from the finest ingredients, representing the brand’s traditional Mexican heritage. The history of Dos Equis Amber is traced to the development of the popular Oktoberfest-style of Vienna lager originally created during the mid-19th century.

A red-brown beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with notes of roasted bread. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and a thin body. Quite boring.

(On tap) Pretty, clear amber with an off-white head. Very vague aroma, perhaps I do detect a whiff of malt - to be polite. Thin and watery with vague traces of malt. Not really that different from the standard Dos Equis - apart from the colour. 160406

I used to think this was a rather bitter, complex beer. Hell, I gave it an 8 out of 10. Then I turned old enough to drink and realized how wrong I was.

From tap at Yards in Pasadena. Pours clear and golden orange with a lacing white head. Light caramelish dry aroma. Flavour holds a mild bitterness to this dry caramel note. Dry and bitter finish.
